TANITABF-679W Multi-Frequency Digital Body Fat and Body Water Scale - Smart Bathroom Weight Scale - Body Composition Monitor with Japan Technology - 300 lb Capacity - 2-User Memory

Very happy with this scale. My 20 year old Tanita scale finally retired, and I wanted the same brand, so I found this scale. It tracks weight, body fat AND water. It's programmable for 2 people and it's also easy to program right out of the box.

I’ve had several of these scales. To me one of the best. When doing the set up l, turn the scale over and make sure you have it set on lbs. lol I forgot and I thought I had lost a ton of weight lol I didn’t lol

Fantastic product! I bought mine 15 years ago. It still works flawlessly despite daily use. I've changed the batteries 2 or 3 times. Incredibly accurate. Put on an additional piece of clothing, you'll see the tenths increase!

I've always used Tanita scales dating back to my high school wrestling days (which requires athletes to be exactly on weight; if you are off by 0.1 of a pound you forfeit) due to its accuracy and consistency. This scale meets my expectations. It may vary by a half of a pound, but overall this is about as good as you can get for the price. I would definitely recommend this scale for anyone looking to monitor or lose (or even gain) weight. However, if you are a competitive athlete which requires you to make weight for your sport or martial art, just be aware that this scale may be off by a half of a pound, give or take.

I'm happy with this purchase so far. After my old Tanita finally gave out (the LCD screen stopped working, ten+ years after owning it), I hoped to find a similar scale with reasonable BMI accuracy and a more precise weight measurement. (My previous scale measured in .5lb increments; I was aiming for .1 or .2lb increments)I considered several scales, ultimately narrowing my search down to this and a newer scale by a company called Greater Goods. I chose this scale because even though it is not a new model and was ten dollars more than the Greater Goods scale, I was ultimately skeptical about buying from a relatively unproven brand whose products include scales and...um...coffee?? From past experience, I knew Tanita to be a quality scale from a manufacturer invested solely in the business of making scales, and I knew the life cycle to be much longer than many other manufacturers. It bodes well to me that this model is at least 12 years old and is still being manufactured and sold.I don't need (or want) a scale that syncs with my other devices and I'm not an athlete, so aside from wanting a general sense of my BMI and accurate weight measurements to within +/- .1 or .2 lbs, my priorities were: that the materials be durable, that the scale be accurate and able to work on various surfaces (my floor is uneven and I have the unit placed on a mat), that it have some thickness to it and to NOT turn on automatically when stepping on it (I often use this for a boost in height in front of my mirror and I don't want to run out batteries unnecessarily), and that it not look horrible in my bathroom.This scale fit my needs as closely as possible. It's accurate, consistent on different surfaces, seems sturdy, and is unobtrusive in my bathroom. However, I would have preferred the design of my previous Tanita scale, for two reasons. First, the surface of this scale is slightly convex, which means that when stepping on it, the scale feels like it will tip sideways or that I will roll my ankle. Second, the metal pads for the electric current are of an awkward shape and are placed a bit too far apart for my average-sized-female feet. Still, relative to my previous Tanita, I get the features I wanted and then some (water measurement and memory buttons for two users), so I'm glad that I made this choice and hope that this scale serves me at least as long and as well as my previous scale.

This is my second Tanita scale. The first one lasted for at least fifteen years, so there was no question what to order as a replacement. Easy to use, easy to read, and it’s nice that you can get both weight and body fat percentage. Recommend.

I've had this scale for a couple of years now. I should have returned it but never did. I bought it because I thought, from the glowing reviews, it would be far better than my mechanical scale but it has been a total joke instead. Not sure if I got a defective one or what but this scale is ridiculous. If I step on the scale 4 times consecutively, it gives me 4 totally different weights and 4 completely different body fat and water percentages. In those 4 readings my weight typically fluctuates with about a 7 lb. difference! Also, it takes FOREVER to get a reading. I have to stand completely motionless for about 15 seconds while it thinks about what number it wants to land on. Since my mechanical scale finally puttered out (after over 15 years) I have been forced to use this (although I am buying a new scale as soon as I finish writing this review.) It's crazy to do, but I have been averaging out between the 4 weight readings it gives me. If the low weight says 150 and the high weight says 157 I just assume I weigh around 153.5 or thereabouts. The body fat and water is WAY off. The numbers don't add up at all. (And, yes, I do know how to use a scale. I weigh every morning, at the same time, with the scale in the exact same place and I stand in the same exact spot.) By far, the WORST scale I have ever owned. Going to buy a mechanical one now.
